Jacksonville, Florida Divorce Lawyers

Divorce, custody and family disputes are highly emotional and important matters that we take special pride in handling. Regardless of the circumstances, the break up of any marriage involves many legal issues that cannot be overlooked and must be thoroughly researched and evaluated so that our clients obtain a fair and equitable result upon termination of their marriage. Likewise, child custody matters are serious, and the best interest of the child is of paramount importance to us. Our attorneys are adept at handling complex divorce cases involving significant assets and income, valuation of business interests, and complex custody, support and alimony matters.

We are experienced at handling a full range of legal issues pertaining to family relationships including:

• Dissolution of marriage / divorce
• Child custody
• Visitation
• Child support
• Spousal maintenance
• Modification of Child Support
• Modification of Custody and Visitation
• Paternity
• Adoption
• Prenuptial (Antenuptial) agreements
• Business valuation and tax issues

Although our lawyers are not mediators, mediation is required in all divorce cases. This allows the parties to attempt to come to an agreement on their own, without having a judge decide important decisions for them. Mediation, however, doesn't always meet the needs of our clients. Our attorneys are always prepared to take any case to trial, and where appropriate, appeal to the appellate courts in Florida. One of our attorneys, Nancy Nowlis, has had a great deal of experience in family appellate practice. She has represented clients in many appellate cases before the District Courts and Supreme Court of Florida.

Our firm is well known throughout the State of Florida and nationally in the areas of divorce and matrimonial law. One of our attorneys, Elliot Zisser, is Board Certified as a matrimonial lawyer. Mr. Zisser was also the President of the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers

in 2000-2001. Our four family law attorneys share information and experiences with each other. Their combined knowledge is a great resource for each of them and for their clients. In our firm, unlike in the case of a sole practitioner, there is always an attorney available to cover if one is unavailable or a problem arises. All of the attorneys are respected in the community for their knowledge, ethical approach and legal expertise in the family law area.
